Our Amazing Teachers!

Gillian Malacari, director of Shoreline Poco a Poco, received her Bachelor of Music Education with Honors from the University of Western Australia majoring in Primary and Secondary Education and String Pedagogy (violin). Her Honors thesis was on ethnomusicology and she became interested in how different cultures approach music education. Gillian has a strong belief that voice exploration and movement activities, in early childhood music education are one of the most robust ways to develop well-rounded musicians who feel confident interacting with music for life.

Lindsay Hogan, director of Marysville Poco a Poco, received her bachelor’s degree from Manhattan School of Music where she majored in oboe performance. Lindsay’s education in New York City helped her explore all kinds of music, from bluegrass to samba, increasing her love for music from diverse traditions. She includes music of varied genres in her teaching to spark curiosity in her students. Lindsay maintains a private studio where she teaches piano, voice, oboe, guitar, and mandolin.

Kelsey Fletcher, director of Mt. Baker Poco a poco and Neighborhood choir, is an SCC alumni who continued her music education at Whitworth University receiving degrees in Music Education and Vocal Performance. She has experience teaching choir at the high school level, private voice and piano lessons, and is actively involved in the music ministry at her church.
